Select the sentence that does not have a pronoun-antecedent error.
1. The local museum is extendign its hours for the summer
2. The local museum is extending their hours for the summer.
And your answer is?
The local museum is extending its hours for the summer.
Right.
To determine which sentence does not have a pronoun-antecedent error, let's first understand what a pronoun-antecedent error is. A pronoun-antecedent error occurs when a pronoun is used incorrectly or does not agree in number with its antecedent.
In Sentence 1, the pronoun-antecedent agreement is correct since the noun "museum" is singular, and the pronoun "its" is also singular, referring back to the museum.
In Sentence 2, the pronoun-antecedent agreement is incorrect. The noun "museum" is singular, but the pronoun "their" is plural. It should be replaced with the singular pronoun "its" to maintain agreement.
Therefore, Sentence 1 does not have a pronoun-antecedent error, while Sentence 2 does.
